"The gentleman seemed more interested in the hail damage and me getting an insurance inspection to verify damage so he could replace the roof. No repairs, no inside look for leaks, no pictures of damage with summary report In other words, they did not provide what was offered"

"Obtained their card at a home show; we needed a new roof. Tree in our yard fell on our deck and roof; called Melvin Mills for estimate. One of owners came to our house, worked with us and insurance adjuster to satisfaction of all. wonderfully kind people, workers extremely polite and considerate. We recommend them if you want excellent service from a top quality professional company. *That is an only an estimate of the cost which included repairs and part of the new roof and guttering which the insurance payout covered."

"I hired St. Louis Insulation to add insulation to my attic. We recently bought our new home and noticed on hot days that our bedroom was extremely warmer then the rest of the house. We made one phone call to St. Louis Insulation & the quickly discovered that we only had about 4 inches of insulation in our attic. They added about 12 inches more insulation and we immediately noticed the difference. Thanks to St. Louis Insulation our home is more comfortable."

"Zykan did a wonderful job replacing my hail damaged roof a few years ago, so when I suspected wind damage on my new house a few days ago I reached out to Will for a quick inspection. He came over the very next day and after a thorough inspection confirmed the roof was in perfect shape (except for some age related issues). However, while inspecting the roof, he discovered a cracked seal around an exhaust pipe and replaced it with a spare one he had in his truck. He also de-clogged my gutter all around the house! In the end, he really surprised me when he said it was all free work as he was on the roof anyways for the inspection! In the past I had the experience of someone charging me $400 to re-attach a loose down spout, a 10 min job! Zykan is definitely different!!"

"They were very considerate and thorough.  They pretty much were very attentive to what I wanted.  I just had a bad experience with another contractor and they bent over backward to give me what I wanted. I was so happy with them!"

FAQs for home inspection projects in East Alton, IL

Most mobile home inspections require two to three hours to complete properly. The timeline varies based on your home's size, age, and overall condition. Inspectors need sufficient time to examine all major systems, document their findings, and compile their observations. 

If the inspector discovers concerning issues that warrant deeper investigation, the process may take longer. For the most thorough assessment, try to schedule your inspection during daylight hours when visibility is optimal.

Pay close attention to water damage indicators like ceiling stains, warped flooring, or musty odors. Structural concerns, including uneven floors, sagging rooflines, or doors that won't close properly, suggest potential foundation issues. Electrical problems such as flickering lights, warm outlets, or outdated wiring present serious safety hazards. 

Impromptu modifications or repairs performed without proper permits often signal deeper problems. Windows that don't seal properly may indicate structural shifting or water infiltration.

Yes, professional inspectors evaluate the foundation components and anchoring mechanisms during a thorough assessment. They examine support piers, blocks, and tie-downs for proper installation and condition. The inspection includes checking for appropriate ground clearance and adequate ventilation beneath the home. 

Proper anchoring is essential for stability during adverse weather conditions. Foundation issues can affect everything from door alignment to plumbing function, making this a critical part of any comprehensive inspection.

Industry professionals recommend scheduling maintenance inspections every two to three years for manufactured homes. Homes in regions with extreme weather conditions may benefit from more frequent evaluations. Consider arranging an inspection after significant storms or if you notice any unusual changes in your home's condition. 

Regular assessments help identify minor issues before they develop into major problems. Maintaining documentation of these inspections also provides valuable records for insurance purposes or future sale considerations.

Search for inspectors with certifications from recognized professional organizations in your state. Specialized training or experience with manufactured housing is particularly valuable for these unique structures. Ask potential inspectors about their familiarity with HUD standards for manufactured homes. Professional membership in industry associations often indicates commitment to ongoing education and ethical standards. Request sample reports from prospective inspectors to evaluate their thoroughness and clarity of communication.

Many insurance providers consider inspection results when determining policy rates and coverage terms. A positive report demonstrating well-maintained systems and the absence of hazards may qualify you for better rates. Addressing issues identified during inspection demonstrates proactive maintenance that insurers often reward. Some companies offer specific discounts for homes that meet certain safety and structural standards. 

Contact your insurance provider before scheduling an inspection to understand exactly what documentation they require for potential premium reductions.
